Method for measuring glycemic index of carbohydrate food in vitro

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measuring the glycemic index of carbohydrate food in vitro, and belongs to the technical field of food detection. The method for measuring the glycemic index of carbohydrate food in vitro comprises the following steps of: (1) obtaining the reducing sugar release rate and digestibility of carbohydrate food to be measured; (2) obtaining related in-vitro digestion test parameters; (3) establishing a database for standard carbohydrate food with known GI values, and defining and establishing a function relationship between the glycemic index GI of a standard sample and the in-vitro digestion test parameters; and (4) carrying out an in-vitro digestion test on the carbohydrate food to be measured to obtain a plurality of related parameters of the in-vitro digestion test, and comparing the related parameters with the standard database to predict the glycemic index, namely the GI value. According to the relation between the in-vitro digestion parameter and the GI value obtained through the method, the linear correlation is 0.9 or above, and the prediction accuracy is higher.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food detection, in particular to a method for measuring the glycemic index of carbohydrate food in vitro. Background technique [0002] With the development of social economy and the improvement of residents' living standards, the public's awareness of health care is increasing day by day, consumers' demand for dietary nutrition quality is gradually increasing, and the potential health food consumption market is expanding day by day. Carbohydrates are one of the most important food nutrients. Carbohydrates enter the human body in the form of glucose molecules through the metabolism and absorption of the human digestive system, providing the main energy source for various metabolic activities. In order to study blood sugar changes in the human body, researchers such as Jenkins of the University of Toronto in Canada proposed the important concept of glycemic index (Glycemic Index, GI). Carbohydrate foods a...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1). Unreasonable or unnecessary steps lead to cumbersome operations

This method requires the use of liquid nitrogen auxiliary equipment to grind solid or semi-solid food materials, which is very different from the real human oral chewing and intestinal peristalsis environment; this method also requires the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or equivalent quantitative methods Determination of the amount of a series of sugars or sugar alcohols (fructose, galactose, lactose, sucrose and maltitol), but in the real digestive environment, starch molecules are hydrolyzed by various digestive enzymes into reducing sugars (maltose, malt three Sugar, monomolecular glucose) are the main components of blood sugar. This method does not specifically characterize and measure the rate of starch digestion and hydrolysis to form reducing sugar, so the accuracy is not high.

[0007] 2). The isolated point test cannot reflect the overall digestion situation

This method - immediately after the fixed time, the digested sample is treated as a whole to stop the enzymatic reaction, so that only a single time point of food digestion products can be obtained for testing, and it is impossible to evaluate the reducing sugar content of the food in the whole time period Release rate, for diabetic and obese patients, the release rate of reducing sugar has a more important impact on the blood glucose level in the body after eating

[0008] 3). Data analysis relies too much on professional statistical software

[0011] In summary, in the field of in vitro assays to measure GI, many existing analytical methods have significant deficiencies
